"Under the Silver Lake". Very strange. Somehow meaningful. Worth watching, twice.

Very strange. Not too sure what the message was, but I'll review some analyses to see what meaning people saw in it.

For me it's a tie between Apocalypse Now and the Super Mario Bros movie, both great movies and both very confusing if you're not paying attention(SMB is confusing even if you are).

Eraserhead and Videodrome have to rank up there. Mother! was really disturbing and weird.

For funny but weird, I'd go with The Big Lebowski.

For animated weird, I'd think Coraline.

Hereditary was probably one of the weirdest and most disturbing horror movies I have ever seen.

A lifetime of horror movies and I was not prepared for it. Not for the faint of heart.

Here's another strange one that's creepy and has at least one highly disturbing scene:

Annihilation (2018)
